I had no idea he had signed them for charity only. I just grabbed a card and got in line. We never had him back at a show after that.
I hate Steve "Never Getting in the HOF" Garvey

I have similar stories of d-bags who gave me a hard time and did not sign or signed, but the ordeal left me with such a bad taste, I could not enter the signed item into my collection. Idiot number one: Yogi Berra
Who can shove that medal as far as I am concerned.
I completely understand how you feel. I'd better stop this post before my language gets the best of me.
